MacNabb '45, debate manager, announced last night. Assigned a topic which they may discuss . in any manner they please, the candidates must speak for .five minutes on "The Problems of The Peace" at tryouts proper to lie held in 316 Sparks at 7 p. m.

Letters From Camps Show Soldiers Want Campus News, Gossip "From the campus to the camps" is the slogan behind'the campaign to send The Daily Collegian to Penn State men in the armed ser vices and to camps where there are Penn State men. From all parts of the• country have come letters asking for news. "What's new on the campus?" "What's the dirt?" and similar in quiries are frequent in letters from the soldiers. Daniel G. Gillespie '44 says his brother, who is sta tioned in Giorgio, never fails to ask about school and his old friends. The same is true of letters from a recent graduate now in Okla homa. Lt. Andrew Tarapchak writes that he wants very much to know what is happening here, about the football team, and lots of other things. Then there are the letters that say how the college papers are read. One boy writes that a fel low in his company receives the publication of Louisiana State U. "Before that paper is thrown out, it has been read by so many fel lows it's in shreds," he writes. These are only a few instances of what the boys in the service would like to knoW, and of the letters than Penn Staters have been receiving from their. soldiers. With this idea in mind, a group of- representatives from various campus .organizations is meeting today -- hilliePSCA - offites - to " out-: line a formal campaign to raise a fund to send The Daily Collegian to as many Penn State men as possible. Opening gun will be fired to night when the Old Main Open House committee will donate the proceeds frorn the first session to the fund. Two sophomores, Mar garet L. Good and Joan R. Piol let, will occupy a 'booth in the lob by of Old Main during. Open House to take individual subscripticins. Anyone desiring to contribute_ part of a. subscription may leave it with these coeds in Old Main tonight, and subscriptions will be mailed out as fast as the money is -available. Collegian Not Coming! Maybe This Is The Cause At least 16 subscribers aren't getting their Daily Collegian, and the Collegian Office knows why. Comparable to the post office's dead letter office is one portion of the Collegian's subscription file. • Here are filed 'the subscrip tiori blanks with insufficient ad dresses and in some cases no ad- arps - ses. If B. Ficca, J. Wallet, I. S. Berney, Suzanne Hartswick, Peg gy Lou 'Leach, Charles Flanger, Dean Zong, N. Byerly, Elaine Freed, George Meyer, Beverly Chase, and the holders of sub sceiptions number . 120, 696, 1423, 1424 and 1426; will come to or call Collegian Office, the circu lation department will take down their correct names arid addresses and insure future delivery. Students may check on their subscription numbers by referring to their• Collegian Dance tickets; Robert E: Edgerly, circulation manager explained. All Collegian subscription -olicitors• were asked by the Business Manager of the Daily Collegian to spend their sand wich hours today selling sub scriptions in front of the Armory.

Weather PRICE: THREE CENTS Stein, OMOH Chairman, Expects Over 1,000 Old Main, practically deserted since the Sandwich Shop was con verted into freshman coed dining commons, will be open this eve ning from 7 to midnight in the first informal recreational pro gram this semester sponsored by many campus societies. Usually well attended. Gerald B. Maxwell Stein '44, OMOH chairman, said that he' again ex- - peels a large turn-out of students, faculty members, and - townspeO ple who get a kick out of mixing with the College people. • Since the Old Main Open Houses first began in February, the crowds have never dropped below the 1,000 marker, Stein said. Created to help students and organizations combine in informal. recreation, the open house offers an inexpensive form of entertain ment that is within the reach of all students. . Practically the only expenses encountered, according to Stein, are in•the full length sound pic ture' shown% in the_ Little Theater in -the basement •and:-social-danc•<, ing in the- first floor lounge. .All other features are "on the house,' chiefly through the ef forts of campus organizations that take it upon themselves to pay for' any expenses that occur. "Spooks for Hire" is the title of the full length film being shown in the Little Theater. The special attraction of to night's program, accord 4 rig flo Charles W. Thompson '43, OMOH feature chairman, is a 45-minute floor show that will be given the earlier part of the evening on the terrace. Frank M. Gullo, assistant pro (Continued on Page Two
